Lunch Buffet

My visiting relatives are watching a lot of MSNBC when we’re not sight-seeing. Hope this doesn’t give me irrational exuberance about political trends. In any event, here’s some mid-day news sustenance:

* John Sides will appear on MSNBC’s The Cycle today at 3:00 EDT to discuss his Washington Monthlyarticle on presidential debates.

* Pennsylvania officials try to salvage voter ID law in face of second review by courts, relaxing requirements for securing ID.

* As expected, DeMint and Santorum rejoin Todd Akin bandwagon, but NRSC has said “it’s done.”
